The Small Print. For the purposes of this notice, ‘Discovery Owners Club’ and ‘Club’ are interchangeable and assumed to mean the same thing.

Discourse Articles The Club reserves the right to edit or refuse articles received from members. Views expressed by members contributing to this magazine are those of that member and may not necessarily be those of the Club. Every effort is made to verify the contents of member’s articles, but the Club can not accept responsibility for the veracity of its content.

Caveat Emptor Every effort is made to ensure advertisements are bona fide. The Club can not accept responsibility for the quality of goods or services advertised. The moral is “buyer beware”.

Public Liability Insurance The Club has Public Liability Insurance for registered Club events of a non-competitive nature. Cover is provided for full Club members, their spouse or partner and children residing at the same address. Family members as defined in the Club rules travelling in a separate vehicle are also covered. Road traffic accident risks are not covered by the Club’s Public Liability Insurance. It is the responsibility of the member to ensure that they have proper and legal Insurance cover for themselves and the vehicle from leaving home until returning home.

Club Events Activities in particular but not excluding off-roading and green-laning are undertaken solely at the participants’ own risk. Vehicles should be suitably insured and prepared for the undertaken activity. Participation in any Club organised event is on the understanding and acceptance that safety is the responsibility of the participant.

Green Lanes All ‘green lanes’ are highways as defined by the Highways Act 1980. Green laning events require the same level of insurance, road tax, MOT and driver’s licence as normal roads.

Association of Land Rover Clubs The Club is a competitive member of the Association of Land Rover Clubs (ALRC), an organisation bringing together all member Land Rover clubs for organising events (both competitive and non-competitive) and providing many essential services to member clubs. DOC members may participate in competitive events run by other ALRC open club events provided they adhere to the rules set out in the ALRC Handbook. The Club’s ALRC Representative is Janet Smart and Handbooks may be obtained from her.

GLASS The Discovery Owners Club is an affiliated member of GLASS (Green Lane Association). GLASS is a national rights of way user group representing the interests of motor car users on un-surfaced minor highways or ‘green lanes’ in England and Wales. GLASS promotes responsible off-roading and the Club endorses this.

Club Web Sites & DOC Forum www.discoveryownersclub.com and www.discoveryownersclub.org are the Club’s website addresses. www.doc-forum.co.uk is our forum address. For instant access, all you need is a valid membership number to register on site.

Once registered, you can log on anywhere in the world to catch up with your favourite club, post replies and help fellow Discovery Owners. Subjects range from Caravanning to Humour. There’s optional email notification for individual postings, entire topics or forums.

Back Issues Members can obtain Discourse back issues via the club web site, where they are available as pdf files to download.

Advertising in Discourse

Advertising space is available in future issues of Discourse. Advertisements can be whole page, half page and quarter page in either black and white or full colour. Suppliers and dealers wishing to advertise in Discourse should contact the Editor for a Rate Card and details of available space.

Small Ads for DOC Members Members can place small ads for Discovery stuff in Discourse for free. However, if you have a cottage to let or anything else that would bring in some income, then you’ll also be able to advertise in the small ads section but will be expected to make a contribution to the production costs of Discourse.

Complimentary Show Tickets From time to time, the Club receives complimentary tickets to shows the club is attending. The Club’s policy is to make these tickets available to those members willing to help on the Club stand during the event. If you are willing to help at the event on the Club stand and/or allow your vehicle to be displayed, please contact the Club’s event organiser whose decision on the distribution of those tickets shall be final. Surplus tickets shall either be destroyed or returned to the event organisers.

Data Protection The Club recognises its responsibilities under the 1998 Data Protection Act. The Membership Secretary is the Club’s Data Controller. The membership database of current and past members shall be for the Club’s exclusive use and shall not be made available to any third party. Elected Officers of the Club may have access to member information having shown good reason. Ordinary members may request contact information of another member. This shall only be through a Committee member who will contact the member to first ask permission.

Committee Meetings Under the rules of the club, members may attend, but not participate at committee meetings. If you plan to come along, please let the Club Secretary know in advance.

Articles for Discourse When submitting articles for inclusion in Discourse, please save the document as a .txt or .doc file without embedded images. Images should be separate from the text and sent either as photographs or digital images in jpg format. All files should be either emailed or put onto CD and sent to the Club’s Editor for selection. Photographs will not be returned unless requested. All submissions gratefully received - we need your input to keep Discourse going!

BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER Since the previous issue of Discourse, the section has remained active. Vehicle maintenance has been the main activity for the section after the harsh winter. A big welcome to Chris, a member from Bristol who joined us in April with a well-used early D1. Hopefully, the warmer weather will see some of the section attending some of the Land Rover shows. It appears that the South West Land Rover show, due to take place in June at The Royal Bath and West showground, Shepton Mallet, is not taking place. The turnout for the show last year was relatively low, despite the hot weather. This is a pity, as it is the most local show. Likewise, the LRW show at Eastnor appears not to be going ahead, even though this is probably the best show of all. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know. Lloyd and myself spent half a day fixing the leak on the washer bottle on his D3. On checking the Internet, this appears to be a relatively common issue, but which also requires the stripping of the front end to reach the bottle. The leak was traced to a push-fit connector behind the washer bottle. Two small O-rings wear, allowing water to leak out of the connector. We were unable to source the correct size o-rings from Halfords or any other motor factors, and the main dealer only sold the joint complete with the pipework for the complete front bumper at significant cost. Needless to say, we didn’t opt for this choice, and a tube of clear silicone flexible sealant allowed us to fix the leak at very little cost. At this time, the leak has not reappeared! Land Rover quote a time of about four hours to remove the bumper and headlights, repair the leak and refix, which we were on target for, the sourcing of o-rings taking much longer! Andy’s D1 has lost its rear box, giving it a distinctly V8 sound but without the performance. A Team GB session to fit a replacement system is being planned. Alex’s D2 now has an uprated auto box from Ashcrofts, after a few fitting issues were resolved. Mark’s D1 is approaching MOT time again, and I swear it comes around quicker than Christmas! My D2 continues with business as usual, apart from costing me plenty for my new commute to Cheltenham and back. We meet at The Railway Tavern, Charfield, South Gloucestershire at 8pm on the first Monday of each month, apart from Bank Holidays, when we meet on the second Monday. All are welcome!

YORKSHIRE The Yorkshire section have, as always, been extremely busy during the first part of the year. Each year we organise an EAC polishing day to prepare the old girl for her many shows, starting with Gaydon. The weather is usually kind to us, and this year was no exception. The sun shone, as the men (me, Martin, Franny, Stephen and Tiny) polishing EAC until she gleamed! Our new chairman wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, cleaning the wheels with his toothbrush! The ladies (Rachel, Angela and Simone) soaked up the sun in the garden. A picnic was rustled up and we all ate al fresco. Stephen commented that surely the lawn could have been mowed for the occasion, so, lawnmower at the ready, Angela mowed, Rachel edged the lawn, Jennifer raked some loose grass cuttings, little Lee followed Angela with a toy lawnmower, and Simone shouted instructions! We finished off the day with a meal at “The Stanley Ferry” and a stroll by the canal. For the Easter weekend we went to a site at Finghall near Leyburn in North Yorkshire. It was a great turn-out with lots of activities throughout the weekend. There was a trip to Lightwater Valley and Forbidden Corner, a posh meal at the village pub, and Rachel organised all the children, keeping them occupied with all manner of craft activities and an Easter egg hunt on the Sunday. Everyone went home with at least one Easter egg. It was a fantastic weekend with great people and lovely weather. The show at Driffield was well attended by the Yorkshire section, with us all camping on the stand. Several new memberships were taken up along with several renewals and items purchased from the club shop. Roy and Margaret managed to compete in the gymkhana, organised by Jerry Thurston in the arena. Roy was later spotted on the twist off ramp in his G-WAC! Richard Wilcox
